    REAL ESTATE 
    A pretty vague question, but think along the lines of enough in reserve to cover vacancy and unexpected repairs. Then you need operating capital, which will depend on your strategy.

    It actually goes beyond that. Writing stimulates all three of the common learning modalities of visual (seeing), auditory (hearing), and haptic (doing). So you will learn the information no matter what your learning style is. /teacher Fun story about learning styles: I once had a girl raise...

    What to do with new ideas?

    IDEA 
    Part of James' point about writing 10 ideas a day is that you need to practice coming up with ideas so that you will eventually come up with good ideas. So if your first 40 don't work, that's normal. IIRC, James also says to create action steps with your ideas. That might help you think through...

    Where to Incorporate (Non-US Citizen)

    Oh, I thought you were interested in incorporating in the US because of the non-US highlighting. If you want to incorporate outside the US, go for it. There are much better alternatives out there that don't charge you tax if your money is made outside their jurisdiction.

    Where to Incorporate (Non-US Citizen)

    You are probably going to want a non-income tax state like Florida, Texas, or Nevada. You will also need a registered agent in that state and a tax guy.

    Advertising Rate??? For Large Client

    One option would be to look at what kinds of keywords they are targeting by using Majestic, Ahrefs, SEMrush, or similar. Once you know their keywords, you can look at what their CPC might be in Google. After knowing that number, you can calculate a CPM number based on what you think a good CTR...

    EXECUTION NOTABLE! 
    This is a bit of a darker question. I've read several of your books and blog articles about losing everything and ending up on the floor. What do you think it is inside people that leads them to lose it all? We see stories in the media over and over again showing the same sequence of events.
